Attached: 1 image Thank you @imyke@myke.social for awarding Mango Baby the Best iOS App of 2025 🤯 Being an Upgrade listener for 11 years+, I can't express how honored I feel right now. Mango Baby was made from my heart when I was a new parent. And reading the overwhelmingly positive messages from my users, including Myke(!), has kept me going with this app. Thank you. ❤️ https://upgradies.com/category/best-ios-app https://www.relay.fm/upgrade/596

Craft’s Thanksgiving release is a substantial one. Posted to their subreddit on Thursday… A few things that stand out: • API/MCP integration. This is the big one. I’ve already linked my Craft workspace to ChatGPT via MCP, and it has really interesting potential. The chatbot inside Craft is also very powerful, and it’s fascinating to have it tell me things about my notes and act upon them. The API will allow it to talk to a ton of other apps in my lineup. I can’t wait to experiment with it more. • Whiteboard improvements. I haven’t been using Whiteboards much, but these improvements make me want to give them a try. • Improved tabs. Tabs have been a big pain for me on Mac, but having them appear vertically in the sidebar is a small change that dramatically improves usability. My main issue with Craft is still the speed of the Mac app, which is sluggish. Putting more stuff in it is surely not the answer, but it’s going to be hard not to with this update. ### Share this: * Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X * Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Click to share on Threads (Opens in new window) Threads * Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon * Click to share on Bluesky (Opens in new window) Bluesky * Like Loading...

Marcos Tanaka’s apps are currently on sale. They’re all clever, tightly focused, and each one uniquely solves a specific problem without unnecessary complexity. Play is my favorite: a “watch later” app for web video. I use it kind of like how I use Readwise Reader as a “read later” tool for written content. I like to queue up videos throughout the day and then watch them on my Apple TV at night, when I am in a mode more appropriate for long term video. Several of his apps are music-focused as well… • MusicBox — a “listen later” inbox for albums, playlists, and music recommendations. • Collections — a tool for cataloging and organizing your music library with rich metadata. • Vinyls — a lightweight, visually rich music player inspired by classic record-collection browsing. • Singles — a simple way to track and revisit individual songs you don’t want to lose in bigger playlists. ### Share this: * Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X * Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Click to share on Threads (Opens in new window) Threads * Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon * Click to share on Bluesky (Opens in new window) Bluesky * Like Loading...
